Gargajo
GARGAJO Con un carraspeo de coraje e indignación Soltó aquel magnífico agente purificador Claro y transparente como el agua Sirvió para desempañetar los cristales de la división Ahora está más limpia Podemos ver por donde traza la costura Y como una chispa en la yerba sureña durante el verano Enciende el fuego de las diferencias … Continue reading Gargajo

Yadier Molina Speaks to Adam Jones (Translated to English)
